Python can only compare identically labeled dataframe objects error










0















Total noob here just trying to do something in Python. I hope this is clear, please excuse the inevitability that I'm probably not using the correct terms (noob remember). I'm using Jupyter Notebook and Python 3.6.



I'm trying to compare a inventory list of items 'listing.csv' with a list of vendors 'vendors.csv'. I'm trying to calculate what the Vendor commission as a cost is. Comparing the inventory sheet to the list of vendors. Not all of the vendors in the inventory sheet are listed in the 'vendors.csv' sheet I did go through and make sure they are identically spelled though the ones that are there. Does my code look correct to get the desired outcome of a new column named 'Cost1'?



import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
dfi = pd.read_csv('listing.csv', encoding="ISO-8859-1")
dfv = pd.read_csv('vendors.csv', encoding="ISO-8859-1")
vendori=dfi['Vendor']
vendorv=dfv['Vendor']

def calculate_cost(commission):
cost = vendori-(vendori*dfv['Percentage'])

for item_cost in vendori:
if vendori == vendorv:
calculate_cost
return cost

elif vendori != vendorv:
dfi['Cost']


dfi['Cost1']=dfi.commission.apply(cost)


What I'm trying to do is take line Vendor and Compare to the Vendor.CSV and claculate their commission amount to adjust the cost1 line on the inventory sheet.

  • vendori and vendorv are columns, so vendori == vendorv does not make sense. if you want to select a row a vendor in dfi where the 'vendor' has a specific value, you can use .loc function. (see example stackoverflow.com/questions/17071871/…)
